Christmas In L.A. - The Killers, Dawes

Woke up, the sun streaming in my room

Warm beach from palm December afternoon

You close your eyes, another year blows by Somewhere in the wind, just another life

(Verse)

My parents sent a Christmas card and then it’s true

We understand you’re staying and we’re proud of you

There’s a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere

I don’t know if that’s what this time gave me or if it lead me here

(Pre-Chorus 1)

And I played so many parts

I don’t know which one’s really me Don’t know if I can take

(Chorus 1)

Another Christmas in L.A.

Another pitcher of Sangria

In an empty beach café

Another Christmas in L.A.

Hold me tighter Carmelita

I don’t know how long I can stay

(Verse)

Left a girl behind in my old man’s truck

Sometimes I wonder where she ended up Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids

Who do you think you’re fooling man?

Of course she did

(Pre-Chorus 2)

I’m walking in that tennis bar

Try and talk with Harry Bean

I don’t know if I can take

(Chorus 2)

Another Christmas in L.A.

Another casting call on Thursday

For a job that doesn’t pay

Another Christmas in L.A.

Another burnout in a tank top

It seems your basket is the case

A fat protagonist in flip flops

With an extensive resume

From Echo Park to Catalina

Dreaming of a white Christmas

The one I used to know

Tree tops glisten, children listen

To sleigh bells in the snow

Another Christmas in L.A.
